I was recently sent some goolie goolie™ dummies to review.

gooliegoolie

goolie goolie™ is a soother and comforter in one. It is a baby’s dummy that is permanently attached to an Australian plush animal, designed to keep the dummy close to baby, without the use of cords or clips.

 

The product range includes three iconic Australian animals, a Wombat named Bluey, a Kangaroo called Rusty and Banjo the Koala. Each animal has the Australian flag embroidered underfoot.

 

Designed and owned by a local Melbourne mamma, these dummies comply with mandatory Australian Safety Standards and feature a medical grade silicone teat.

 

Who better to help me out with the review than three gorgeous bubs and their mammas. Here’s what they had to say……..

How many times have you been out and about and gone to use your phone, only to realise that it’s flat or about to go flat (stupid iPhone).

 

So very frustrating when you want to grab a quick pic of the kids doing something silly or looking totally adorable, or to call hubby to tell him you got delayed at the supermarket (via the coffee shop) and will be home a little later than expected 😉 …

Who better to help me out with the review than the mother of a child in Grade 6 this year and a secondary school teacher who is also the parent of a primary school aged child. …

Today I am Thankful.

Thankful for having a wonderful husband.
Thankful for having two incredible children (my miracles).
Thankful for having amazing family and friends.
Thankful for living in the greatest city in the world.
Thankful for doing something I love.
Thankful for being alive.

 

Never, ever, take anything in life for granted. Be thankful for what you have and enjoy life every day.

 

12 years ago today, I was almost killed in an accident. Since then, not a day goes by that I don’t think about how different things could have been.

Just finished Wild Dark Shore by Charlotte McConag Just finished Wild Dark Shore by Charlotte McConaghy and… Wow!!!
What. A. Ride. 📚

From the very first chapter, I was hooked. And the twists? I did not see them coming.

Charlotte McConaghy proves once again why Australian authors are absolutely unmatched when it comes to vivid storytelling and emotional punch 🇦🇺📚

It’s beautifully written, deeply moving, and completely unputdownable.
Highly, highly recommend! 

My rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️.5

Have you read it yet? Let’s chat 👇

“Dominic Salt and his three children are caretakers of Shearwater, a tiny island not far from Antarctica. Home to the world’s largest seed bank, Shearwater was once full of researchers. But with sea levels rising, the Salts are now its final inhabitants, packing up the seeds before they are transported to safer ground.

Despite the wild beauty of life here, isolation has taken its toll on the Salts. Raff, 18 and suffering his first heartbreak, can only find relief at his punching bag; Fen, 17, has started spending her nights on the beach among the seals; 9-year-old Orly, obsessed with botany, fears the loss of his beloved natural world; and Dominic can’t stop turning back towards the past, and the loss that drove the family to Shearwater in the first place.

Then, during the worst storm the island has ever seen, a woman washes up on shore. As the Salts nurse the woman, Rowan, back to life, their suspicion gives way to affection, and they finally begin to feel like a family again. Rowan, long accustomed to protecting her heart, begins to fall for the Salts, too. But Rowan isn’t telling the whole truth about why she set out for Shearwater. And when she discovers the sabotaged radios and a freshly dug grave, she realises Dominic is keeping his own dark secrets.”
